What's the difference between code brew and type safe activator?

shmed commented 10 years ago

We were considering doing an activator plugin in the beginning. I think one of the advantage of being totally online is that you don't have to set up anything to start programming. For example, if you want to try a short sorting algorithm, you can just open up your browser from any computer and just try it out. Even if you already had all the tools installed on your machine, it's often quicker to just open up your browser than it is to start a new project on your desktop.

"For example, if you want to try a short sorting algorithm, you can just open up your browser from any computer and just try it out." Yes, it is beautiful for quickly demonstrating things to other people on their machines, for example. IMHO, the fact that all you need is just a browser to access the tool is a huge win.

I got it. But I still think activator plugin is better since most developer of scala use scala REPL in such case and it's enough for me. Activator needs to be improved. Anyway, thanks!
